Justice is stronger when victims are informed.
Justice is stronger when victims are heard.
Justice is stronger when victims’ rights are protected.
This is the mission behind #MarsysLaw.💜
Marsy’s Law helps ensure victims are treated with respect and notified about important developments in their case - so they never feel like bystanders in a process that can alter their day-to-day realities.
